Through your 403(b) pension plan
If you have the Defined Contribution Retirement Plan for Lay Employees, you may save for retirement by adding to your employer's contributions.
If your employer also matches a percentage of your contributions, you can make the most of this benefit by contributing the maximum to meet your employer's match.
In addition to adding to your retirement savings, your contributions reduce your gross income for federal and most local taxes.
With the RSVP 403(b) plan
If you have the Defined Benefit Retirement Plan for Lay Employees, or if you do not have a pension plan through the Episcopal Church, ask your employer to help you enroll in the Retirement Savings Plan (RSVP). The plan offers you a range of investment choices.
Annuities you may purchase individually
Church Life Annuities & IRAs are another way to add to your retirement income. These investments can guarantee* steady income payments for as long as you choose. Visit our Annuity Resource Center
*Guarantees are subject to the claims paying ability of Church Life Insurance Corporation.
Life insurance and annuities are issued by Church Life Insurance Corporation ("Church Life"), an affiliate of the Church Pension Group. Church Life is solely responsible for its own financial condition and contractual obligations.
